  Action at a distance (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, action at a distance, or actio in distans, is the interaction of two objects which are separated in space with no known mediator of the interaction.
This term was used most often with early theories of gravity and electromagnetism to describe how an object could "know" the mass (in the case of gravity) or charge (in electromagnetism) of another distant object.
Einstein coined the term "spooky action at a distance" to describe these situations, which exhibit quantum entanglement.

 Action at a distance (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Action at a distance is an anti-pattern (a recognized common error) in which behavior in one part of a program varies wildly based on difficult or impossible to identify operations in another part of the program.
The way to avoid the problems associated with action at a distance are a proper design which avoids global variables and alters data in a controlled and local manner.
One of the advantages of functional programming is that action at a distance is de-emphasised, sometimes to the point of being impossible to express at all in the source language.

But if such computers are built, achieving and maintaining entanglement will be critical for everything from processing data to transmitting it.
By contrast, according to quantum mechanics, an experimenter could entangle a pair of particles, separate them by vast distances, then instantaneously change the state of one by changing the state of the other - even at distances of millions of light years.
This "spooky action at a distance," according to Albert Einstein and two colleagues, was a direct result of quantum mechanics if it failed to have more-classical underpinnings.
